Last Hero (Russian: Последний герой Poslednij geroj) is the Russian version of Survivor. The first season premiered on November 17, 2001, with the sixth and final season ending on March 1, 2009. One unofficial adaptation was also produced, airing between November 2005 and March 2006.

History[]

The format of the show varies slightly from season to season, but the basic principles remain the same as those introduced in Expedition Robinson 1997. The castaways are divided into two tribes, who live in camps on different islands.

On the second day of each three day cycle, the tribes compete in a Reward Challenge for privileges, such as food, survival equipment, or messages from home. On the third day, teams compete in an Immunity Challenge for a totem that gives the tribe immunity. The tribe that loses attends Tribal Council, where someone is voted out via a secret ballot.

Once half the castaways remain, the tribes merge. This is preceded by negotiations between ambassadors from each tribe who choose which of the two camps the merged tribe will live on and come up with a new name for it. Once merged, the challenges become individual, and the merged tribe attends Tribal Council together. The three day cycle format continues until the final five. From this point, a vote occurs every day until the Final Two is formed. They then attend the Final Tribal Council, where the jury, made up of people eliminated from the merged tribe, vote for a winner, known as "The Last Hero".

The struggles to win challenges often generated conflicts, conspiracies and splits in the tribes, with alliances being a common theme in the series.
